Zenyatta loses by a head
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Put the blame on Blame for breaking Zenyatta's magnificent winning streak -- and a lot of hearts, too.
Jockey Mike Smith wept. Owners Jerry and Ann Moss stood in stunned silence. Trainer John Shirreffs trudged slowly back to the barn, hands in his pockets.
Nineteen times the people behind Zenyatta led horse racing's superstar to the track. Nineteen times they'd celebrated with her in the winner's circle.
Not this time.
Blame beat Zenyatta by a head in a thrilling finish at the Breeders' Cup Classic on Saturday night, handing the 6-year-old mare her first defeat.
Zenyatta threaded her way through traffic from last place while the crowd of 72,739 urged her on as she unleashed a monstrous closing kick under the lights at Churchill Downs.
It was so close, a matter of inches, the result had to be resolved by a photo -- a picture that saddened not only Zenyatta's owners and trainer but millions of fans around the world.
It was so close, Ann Moss said she was hoping her horse had "stuck her tongue out" at the finish.
Smith blamed himself for the loss. He walked off the track with his head down, dirt stuck to his face.
"It was my fault," he said, sobbing. "She should've won."
Blame went to the front in mid-stretch, then fought off another gutty run by the massive mare, who lagged well behind 11 rivals -- all boys -- in her customary style.
Sent off at 5-1 odds, Blame ran 1 1/4 miles in 2:02.28 and paid $12.40, $4.40 and $3.80. Zenyatta returned $3.60 and $2.80. Fly Down was another 3½ lengths back in third and paid $8.60 to show. Preakness winner Lookin At Lucky finished fourth.
But the star, even in defeat, was Zenyatta, the sentimental even-money favorite.
She played to the crowd at every chance on her way to the starting gate. She high-stepped her way to the paddock, playfully pawing the ground as they roared. Ann Moss held her finger to her lips as a signal for the fans to quiet down.
"People who didn't know anything about horse racing became fans because of her," Blame's jockey Garrett Gomez said.
Zenyatta proved she could beat the boys last year when she rallied from behind to win the $5 million Classic at Santa Anita. It was one of her 17 wins on synthetic surfaces in her home state of California.
This time, though, she was facing the deepest, most talented field of her career on a surface where she had limited experience. Still, trainer Shirreffs had said she preferred it to synthetic tracks.
This was the third time she ran on dirt and in her two previous races, she beat other girls at Oaklawn Park in Arkansas.
But Blame had home-court advantage. He won twice before on dirt at Churchill, where Zenyatta had never raced.
"She ran an excellent race and just came up a little short," Shirreffs said. "She ran her heart out."
But Zenyatta's late-running style proved her undoing this time. She got away slow from the starting gate and spotted early leader First Dude 15 lengths over the opening half-mile.
At the back of the pack, Smith was coaxing Zenyatta to start making up ground. But it was a struggle. She was getting hit in the face with clods of dirt, something that doesn't happen on a synthetic track.
"She wasn't used to it," he said. "Although she's run on dirt twice, they were really short fields and really never got nothing in her face before."
Smith furiously tore through six pairs of goggles to keep a clear view of things.
"I just wish I would have been in the race a little earlier because I think the outcome would have certainly been different," the Hall of Fame jockey said.
Few would disagree.
When Zenyatta finally kicked into gear, Smith had plenty of horse left. She started her rally turning for home, dropping down to the inside rail with three furlongs to go and Blame on her outside.
Smith then angled her to the outside for clear running room, and the crowd exploded.
This was the famous come-from-behind run they had braved a cold November evening to see.
Zenyatta charged through the lane, gaining on Blame with every stride of her powerful legs. Gomez, aboard Blame, knew only Zenyatta could deny him the win.
"I was asking him as much as I could without asking him for everything," he said. "I was trying to save just enough so if she did get to me I had something and some kind of response."
It was just enough.
The loss might have cost Zenyatta a shot at Horse of the Year honors. She lost to Rachel Alexandra last year. This year's vote, announced in January, will come down to Blame vs. Zenyatta.
"I thought the battle for Horse of the Year was fought about a half-hour ago, and Blame won it," said Seth Hancock of Claiborne Farm, which co-owns Blame.
"She's a great horse, Zenyatta is. But she had her shot to get by, and she didn't do it. So I don't think you can vote for her."
Zenyatta's 19 consecutive wins tied her for most all-time with Peppers Pride, who retired last year after running against much lesser competition. Peppers Pride never raced outside New Mexico and all her wins came against fillies and mares.
"Zenyatta didn't lose anything," winning trainer Al Stall Jr. said. "I don't think you'll find anybody criticizing anything she's ever done, much less today. It was just two very good horses, and everybody talked about it coming down to these two for a long time. We were fortunate to have the right horse on the right day at the right time."
Instead of another merry jaunt to the winner's circle, the Mosses looked momentarily dazed.
"I thought she'd get there, but she just missed," he said. "She lost to a really good horse. We're real proud of her. She tried hard, she's the greatest."
All the great ones lose eventually.
Upset -- like Blame, another aptly named winner -- beat the unbeaten Man o'War; Triple Crown winner Secretariat was beaten; and Cigar won 16 in a row, but couldn't pull out one more.
During the two-day Breeders' Cup championships, American horses earned 12 victories while Europe-based horses won twice.
European import Goldikova successfully defended her title in the $2 million Mile for the third consecutive year against 10 rivals, including nine boys. Dangerous Midge won the $3 million Turf, and Pluck won the $1 million Juvenile Turf.
Big Drama led all the way to win the $2 million Sprint; Chamberlain Bridge won the $1 million Turf Sprint; and 37-1 long shot Dakota Phone won the $1 million Dirt Mile.
Uncle Mo won the $2 million Juvenile, giving trainer Todd Pletcher his third win of the weekend.
In the Juvenile Turf, Rough Sailing was euthanized after breaking a major bone in his upper leg when he slipped and fell going into the first turn. Jockey Rosie Napravnik wasn't hurt.

MLS Regular Season
LA Galaxy captain Robbie Keane has been named to MLSsoccer.com's Team of the Week after scoring three goals last week.
Keane tallied two goals in LA's 5-1 victory over the New England Revolution on Wednesday and then added another in LA's 2-1 road defeat to Sporting Kansas City on Saturday. With his three goals, Keane has now scored 10 goals this season which gives him a double digit goal total for the third consecutive season.
In addition to Keane meaning the Team of the Week, Galaxy forward Gyasi Zardes was placed on the bench after notching a brace of his own against New England.
Feilhaber + Keane steal the show. Team of the Week: http://t.co/0CI30ssAFL pic.twitter.com/bexE3EGGFL
— Major League Soccer (@MLS) July 21, 2014
17 games played and 17 games to go for the LA Galaxy.
Currently, the team finds themselves him third place in the Western Conference with a 7-4-6 record and 27 points. At this point of the season, the Galaxy are currently first in the league in fewest goals allowed with just 16 while the club has scored 26 times which is third-lowest in the West. Although the results may not be ideal, but they are an improvement from the team's 2013 record at the midway point of the season when the club registered a 7-7-4 record with 25 points.
Robbie Keane currently leads the Galaxy in scoring with 10 goals and six assists so far in the season. Gyasi Zardes is second in goals scored with six while Landon Donovan and Stefan Ishizaki are second to Keane in assists with four apiece.
How are you feeling heading into the second half of the season?
Vote and share your thoughts below.
KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena addressed the media following the team's 2-1 defeat to Sporting Kansas City on Saturday.
The defeat snapped LA's eight game unbeaten run.
Robbie Keane is headed to the MLS All-Star Game for a second consecutive time.
MLS announced Keane's selection as well as the rest of the roster for the MLS All-Star's match against German giants Bayern Munich at JELD-WEN Field in Portland on Aug. 6. Keane currently leads the LA Galaxy in scoring with nine goals and six assists so far this season.
Keane joins Landon Donovan and Omar Gonzalez who were named to the MLS All-Star Game through the Fan XI last week.
The complete roster for the MLS All-Star Game is below.
Goalkeeper:Bill Hamid (D.C. United), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake)
Defenders:Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City), Aurélien Collin (Sporting Kansas City), Omar Gonzalez (LA Galaxy), Chad Marshall (Seattle Sounders FC), Michael Parkhurst (Columbus Crew), DeAndre Yedlin (Seattle Sounders FC)
Midfielders:Osvaldo Alonso (Seattle Sounders FC), Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Michael Bradley (Toronto FC), Tim Cahill (New York Red Bulls), Clint Dempsey (Seattle Sounders FC), Will Johnson (Portland Timbers), Diego Valeri (Portland Timbers), Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City)
Forwards:Jermain Defoe (Toronto FC), Landon Donovan (LA Galaxy), Thierry Henry (New York Red Bulls), Robbie Keane (LA Galaxy), Obafemi Martins (Seattle Sounders FC), Erick Torres (Chivas USA), Bradley Wright-Phillips (New York Red Bulls)
CARSON, Calif. – The question of who should be the starting striker tandem is one of the main topics among LA Galaxy circles. However, based on the meteoric rise of Gyasi Zardes, it may not be a debate much longer.
The Galaxy won two titles with the strike force of Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane, but in recent weeks it has been Zardes who has started alongside the Irishman thanks to his torrid scoring run of six goals in five contests. LA's pairing of Keane and Zardes bore fruit again on Wednesday with both strikers tallying a brace in the team's 5-1 victory over the New England Revolution.
While Donovan and Zardes have often swapped positions in recent months, Keane told reporters that it may be time stop thinking of the second-year attacker as a midfielder.
"As long as he keeps continuing to learn and keeps continuing to score goals, and understanding how to be a striker and playing with someone else," said Keane. "It's not about just running in behind, it's about linking up and playing with people and understanding when you play up front it's a partnership and understanding when I have the ball he has to run off and understand where he's going to go.
"Most of the time I'll find him. If not, I'll try to find him. I keep telling him just get in behind and I'll find him."
And it's Keane's vocal nature that Zardes attributes to his ability to find spaces behind opposing defenders and create dangerous scoring opportunities.
"I definitely have been listening to Robbie," Zardes told reporters on Wednesday night. "He's constantly talking to me, even throughout the game. He's giving me little tips on what he's going to do, and he told me to pay attention to the first ball once you're running through. We worked on it in practice, and we did it in the game. When Robbie gets the ball at his feet, I know he'll find me."
Who should start up top for the LA Galaxy when they play Sporting Kansas City on Saturday? Do you prefer the tandem of Keane and Donovan or Keane and Zardes?
Share your thoughts below.
CARSON, Calif. – Omar Gonzalez has his sights set on returning to the field for the LA Galaxy, but don't count on him participating in Saturday's clash with Sporting Kansas City.
The Galaxy center back participated in training on Thursday for the first time since returning from World Cup duty with the U.S. National Team where he endured a right ankle injury during the USMNT's round of 16 defeat to Belgium.
"The ankle is moving along well," Gonzalez told reporters. "I practiced today for the first time and it feels good to be back on the field with the team."
Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena echoed Gonzalez's optimism stating that the defender is "moving along" in his recovery, but is "unlikely" to play a role in Saturday's match in Kansas City.
Although Arena did not reveal a timetable on Gonzalez's return, the defender himself admitted that he is hoping to earn minutes in LA's match against Manchester United next week before making a potential full-fledged return against Seattle Sounders FC on July 28.
"I think that [Seattle] is the target game. It'll be a crucial game for us. It'll our first game at their place and we need points," he said. "The United game is definitely a good game to get some minutes so that I can get back out there and get ready for Seattle."
CARSON, Calif. – Stefan Ishizaki has spent plenty of time practicing his free kicks in recent weeks and on Wednesday his hard work paid off.
In the 75th minute after Juninho won a free kick just outside the penalty area, Ishizaki let loose a curling shot that bounced off a defender and into the net for LA's fourth goal of their 5-1 rout of the New England Revolution. The strike capped a performance that also featured a first half assist of Gyasi Zardes' goal just before the 20 minute mark.
With his goal, Ishizaki has the distinction of scoring 50 percent of LA's free kicks since David Beckham left the club as the Galaxy have scored just two goals off free kicks since the Englishman's departure.
"That's what I've kind of built my career on, my right foot. I have always been taking corners and free kicks," said Ishizaki. "Recently, I've had a couple injuries in the past couple of years that kept me from practicing free kicks and now I feel fit and I feel good. I've been making a lot of free kicks in practice, so that gives you the confidence you need when you step up in games."
The Galaxy will need that confidence heading into Saturday's clash against Sporting Kansas City, but before the team turns the page to Sporting, Ishizaki admits that the victory was a needed one for LA.
"We've been waiting on one of these games to really score a lot of goals," he said. "We felt a little bit unlucky at times, but at the end of the day, if it doesn't go in you've not done well enough. So it was a good feeling today to get a couple in."
CARSON, Calif. -- LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena addressed reporters after the team's 5-1 win over the New England Revolution.
His quotes are below.
(On the team's mistakes...)
ARENA: "I think in the first half when New England had a player sent off, our guys relaxed and I thought our last 15 minutes in the first half were poor."
(On Robbie Keane...)
ARENA: "He's picked it up over the last two or three weeks. Robbie is going to score goals and strikers at time get into a bit of a slump, they go scoreless a while, but there is never a doubt in our minds that Robbie will produce goals for us. Whether it's directly from him, or assisting, we know he is going to be in and around the goal and be dangerous. So it was just a matter of time he hit the back of the net again."
(On the team's defense...)
ARENA: "Just working with those players since preseason, getting them organized and getting them enough games. So tonight, obviously the first half we start with A.J. [DeLaGarza] at left back and match up Leonardo and Tommy [Meyer], which we probably haven't done a whole lot. With Dan getting sent off, it was a good exercise playing with three in the back, so I thought that was good. They've reacted in a positive way all year. As you know, we've lost Omar [Gonzalez] for a while, Todd Dunivant really most of the season, James Riley. Yet when a player's name is called, they step up so I'm really pleased with the group. Kofi [Opare] was ready to go tonight as well. We've got good depth in our back line, and I think as we get into the second half of the season, I think it's going to pay dividends for our group."
(On Kenney Walker...)
ARENA: "Good job, Kenney [Walker] has played a fair amount for us over the last couple of months and did a good job. I thought he got a little tired in the second half and made the change. I thought Marcelo Sarvas was brilliant in his 20 minutes; did exactly what we needed him to do."
(On Gyasi Zardes...)
ARENA: "He's grown as a player, more confident. We put him in a difficult position in the second half, having to play out on the right and I thought he was excellent. He played on both sides of the ball so we're real pleased with him. He is getting a lot more confident, and he has been a really good player over the last couple of months.
With Omar Gonzalez likely absent, Leonardo targeting return to action against New England Revolution
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy's 2014 regular season campaign is complete with several players who are enduring stop start seasons, and one of the names on that list is Brazilian center back Leonardo.
The 26-year-old Brazilian has been much maligned among Galaxy fans for his inconsistent play throughout the campaign, which has seen him make nine starts across 11 appearances. A start at the beginning of the year alongside Omar Gonzalez, Leonardo has not started since early June as Tommy Meyer has begun to cement his place along the back four.
However, Leonardo may be given a lifeline back into the starting XI on Wednesday with the Galaxy's match against the New England Revolution which will be the team's second match in a two week; five game swing.
"I think it'd be good for the group to rotate players. We want to have a full squad so that we can change if we need to. You don't want players who are not playing over a long period and you want them to fight for an opportunity," said Leonardo. "I feel good and Bruce [Arena] has told me that when I have an opportunity that I need to take it. I think that this will be my time to take the opportunity and show what I can do."
It's been a busy week for Omar Gonzalez.
Fresh off an impressive showing at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, the LA Galaxy and U.S. Men's National Team defender bared it all for ESPN the Magazine, killed it on Conan and is now playing the role of Cameron in Kick TV's Mike Magee's Day Off.
The short film, which stars a who's who of North American soccer, including a perfect cameo by Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena, spoofs the classic 80's film Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Former Galaxy forward Mike Magee stars in the Ferris Bueller role and a majority of the film was shot at StubHub Center.
Do you think Omar has a career in acting? Or should he stick to defending?

Hello, i bought this eugenia pyriformis(uvalha) and when i planted into soil it stunted growth(my soil is clay that drains well, ph 6,5 to 7,0 and it gets sun), and top new leaves become pale yellow, after months the rains came and i fertilized with npk and extreme slowly it gave new leaves that appeared little than normal and pale yellow, now it appears stunted again and dont respond to npk, please help me fix this , im ulpoading 4 images, the link to them are http://img141.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=mudagrande4.jpg I also have an italian cypress that show this symphtons , its is stunted for 3 years . Thanks a lot. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Did you untangle the roots before you planted it? Sometimes a plant's roots wrap around the tap root and strangle it. I would dig it up, check that the roots are free, and ammend the soil with some perlite or coarse sand. Don't fertilize a sick plant - find out what's wrong and get that fixed before giving it nutrients it can't take up through it's non-working roots. You can take it to a grower's nursery or your local extension office for a diagnosis and hands-on advice. |
Yep, i have untangled, the roots are free. I've noticed that the soil where this plant are stays a lot more humid than my others plant's soil that has plants with same age and botanic genus., its like you said , the roots appears to be not-active. Can it be caused by a fungal disease? the old leaves appears to be good. |

Tennis: Djokovic ousts Ferrer to seal Rome semi with Raonic
Published on May 17, 2014 2:22 AM
ROME (AFP) - Number two seed Novak Djokovic set up a semi-final meeting with Canada's Milos Raonic at the Rome Masters after ousting Spain's David Ferrer 7-5, 4-6, 6-3 on Friday.
After dominating a hard-fought opening set, the Serbian was outplayed in the second and had to overcame a few wobbles on his way to wrapping up the match in 2hr 31min.
Leading 3-1 in the deciding set, Djokovic allowed his Spanish rival to break back to 3-3 before serving to take a 4-3 lead.
Despite some resistance from Ferrer in a thrilling eighth game, Djokovic broke back when he sent a powerful drive past the Spaniard and into the corner to take a 5-3 lead.

Shoney's is closed because of a Weigel's buy out . We miss our Shoney's!! Try Lois's Country Kitchen
Good variety of food but food temperature was warm. Coffee was just warm also. I like Seattle's Best #5 hot. Next time I'll bring my 4 cupper!
Walked to breakfast from motel and injoyed their varied buffet since motel6 only serves coffee. The reasonable price paid for motel,considering the season, made up for cost of breakfast.
We ate lunch at the Shoney's in Newport. The burger choices were great and the ones we ordered were delicious. The hostess and server were nice. We also noticed that they had a very good food bar, but we didn't try it - maybe next visit.
I love Shoney's because it of the many buffet choices. Their salad bar is great and the restaurant is family friendly and clean

hello, I am making pinch pleated drapes for a large (8' x 8') sliding patio door. The drapes will expand about a foot on each side of the door, for stacking. The fabric is a medium weight home dec cotton print. I plan on using drapery hooks to attach to rings on to each pleat to slide on a metal rod. This room gets a lot of sun. It is also where we watch TV and therefore I want to block light. Do I sew the blackout lining to the panel before pleating? Will this make for a very heavy, awkward to sew panel? I am not planning to use pleating tape, but will use buckram. Do I extend the blackout lining into the header? Or do I create a separate panel that I can attach separately to the drapery hooks? If so do I make this separate panel the finished witdth of the pleated panel? Will this allow my drapes to hang nicely or will they bunch up? I really don't want to use 2 rods. Thanks for any advice you may have. I want these drapes to look good, but to make it easy if possible! |

I am not a professional but will give you some advice based on my experiences. I made a pinch pleated drape for my large sliding glass door several years ago. We have a wood overhang outside which blocks some of the afternoon sun. I did not line the drape but I did use buckram in the header. The fabric was medium weight home decor cotton...not super thick. After sewing the header, there was a lot of stiffness & thickness in the header for the pleats. If I was to have also included blackout lining in that header, it would have been too heavy & thick for me to work with. It may be a good idea to make a separate blackout lining in your case. I would make the lining about an inch less (than the finished drape) in width as well as length. I have sewn a small window panel that included blackout lining sewn in to it. I did not do pinch pleats for this panel. I used rings & clips instead. The blackout lining was inserted into the header before sewing. I used a double fold of the fabric at the header but did not fold the blackout. The blackout goes all the way up into the top of the header. Same idea for the side hems...the fabric is double folded but the blackout is not. The blackout did not need to be sewn at the bottom...it's not sewn in to the hem. Hope this helps a little. |
Thanks so much. I'm concerned if the blackout is separate when the drapes are opened they will not fold into nice pleats. What do you think? |
- Posted by laurie_2008 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 25, 13 at 0:15
kaayluvr - You bring up a good point. I don't know the answer to how the separate blackout lining will fold/pleat. Hopefully, someone who has experience with this situation will respond with some ideas. If you don't get any responses, soon, you should post this on the Home Decorating Forum. There are a lot of sewing people over there and that forum seems to get more traffic. One thought may be to skip the buckram all together. Having the blackout lining inside of the double folded header may give enough stability for the header. |
Just wanted to thank everyone who responded and to let everyone know how the drapes turned out. I ended up making the lining separate and hung the lining from the clips that were on the curtain rings. I used drapery hooks on the panels to hook to the rings. So all you see are the rings on the rod. The pleats came out great using buckram they are crisp and the right fullness. When open and stacked to the sides they look fine although there is a bit more fullness at the bottom than top. When closed they look like normal pinch pleated drapes. I would do it again this way. Sorry no pic I don't know how to post one. |
- Posted by laurie_2008 (My Page) on Sun, Aug 4, 13 at 2:15
Thanks for the follow-up. I really like hearing how projects turn out! I'm so glad it worked well for you to make the lining separate. I'm trying to picture in my mind how it works....you have rings with clips for the blackout. Then, on the same rings, you hooked your pins (from the pinched pleated drapery fabric). Is that correct? Sounds good. I wish I could see pics! What fullness did you use for the blackout lining?...1, 1 -1/2, 2, 2-1/2, or 3 times the window width? |

TV or not TV
Tuesday on TV: Fox brings back 2 sitcoms, adds 2 new sitcoms
Tonight, Fox debuts one dreadful new sitcom ("Dads"), one good new sitcom ("Brooklyn Nine-Nine") and gives us the season premieres of two more good sitcoms ("New Girl" and "The Mindy Project").
Here's the rundown ...
Iron Man 2 (7 p.m., ABC/Ch. 4): Broadcast premiere of this 2010 film, which isn't nearly as good a "Iron Man" or "Iron Man 3."
The Million Second Quiz (7 p.m., NBC/Ch. 5): Days 8 of the 12-day event.
Latino Americans (7 p.m., PBS/Ch. 7): Part 1 of this excellent three-part, six-hour documentary series.
Dads (7 p.m., Fox/Ch. 13): Premiere of this really terrible, racist, sexist, deadly unfunny new sitcom.
<Women's college volleyball (7 p.m., P12N): BYU at Utah
Brooklyn Nine-Nine (7:30 p.m., Fox/Ch. 13): There's too much Andy Samberg in the premiere of this new sitcom, but the show is funny and shows promise.
America's Got Talent (8 p.m., NBC/Ch. 5): Six acts perform.
New Girl (8 p.m., Fox/Ch. 13): Nick and Jess go to Mexico - and trouble follows them. (Season premiere)
The Mindy Project (8:30 p.m., Fox/Ch. 13): Not surprisingly, it doesn't take Mindy long to get sick of Haiti. And James Franco guest stars as a new doctor. (Season premiere)
Frontline (9 p.m., PBS/Ch.7): An report on the ongoing turmoil in Egypt.
Covert Affairs (10 p.m., USA): Annie tries to take down Henry.
Sons of Anarchy (11 p.m., FX): Jax deals with collateral damage.
Suits (11 p.m., USA): An old nemesis returns. (Season finale)

reviews & comments (4)
My grandmother used to make this but never wrote down her recipe, so I tried this one. It's easy and delicious as it's written, but I also add some cinnamon, mace, and nutmeg (very little of each) as I remember my grandmother doing. The leftovers make excellently spiced breadcrumbs for swedish meatballs, too.
I'd never even heard of limpa before I tried this recipe. Didn't really like it as is, but think it has huge potential. My fatal mistake was not Grinding the spices- which I will next time, as well as cut down on the caraway, and up the orange. I'll probably try it with cardamon too.
The first time I had Swedish Limpa Bread (which is what I always call it) was in the late 60's at a week-end be-in. Maybe it was a music festival, like a mini Woodstock, I don't know. I just remember camping, cloudy weather, some guy standing naked in the parking lot, and this wonderful bread which some kind and creative girl had baked for the event. I never see it anymore, I have to actually make it to enjoy the bread again, but it is indelibly associated with that fun week-end. Ah, memories....

Malin Akerman
Malin Akerman in James Jeans Juliette Jeans in Palisades
Enjoying a day off, Malin Akerman was snapped while taking her son to a local park. She wore a pair of James Jeans Juliette jeans in palisades with a black t shirt and sneakers.
It is nice to see Malin mix up her styles and choose something with more of a flare leg, like this Juliette style. I like that it has a very slight flare and is very fitted around the calf, I think it is a really modern iteration of the style. I am not crazy about how she paired them with such heavy looking sneakers and would love to see them with a great pair of heels! Buy James Jeans online at Shopbop.com.
Malin Akerman in Strom Brand Nio High Rise Skinny Jeans in Blackbird
Malin Akerman was snapped while running errands in a pair of Strom Nio high rise skinny jeans in Blackbird. She paired them with a white t shirt and black Rag & Bone booties.
I like that Malin is showing support for a fellow Swedish model by wearing Strom! I can see why she chose them though, as they fit her really well and the Blackbird wash is a great dark gray color. I like that she kept the rest of the outfit simple too.
Malin Ackerman in Level 99 Lily Skinny Jeans in Crawford
Malin Ackerman was spotted doing some shopping with her family in Los Angeles, California. The actress wore a pair of Level 99 Lily Skinny jeans in Crawford with a graphic muscle t shirt.
It looks like Malin took a cue from Ashley Benson. Ashley was spotted wearing a very similar look to Coachella earlier this year wearing a pair of distressed Rag & Bones with a similar shirt and chucks. Who do you think wore the look better? You can click here to purchase these jeans from the Level 99 website for $125.
Malin Akerman in Helmut Lang
Malin Akerman posed for a photo at the Tao for T-Mobile's Google Music Event at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. She wore a pair of Helmut Lang Paneled Denim Leggings. It seems like many celebrities are starting to pull out their old jeans, which I like. I think there is no reason to just wear things from the new seasons and only the new seasons.
Malin is another celebrity that I am growing quite fond of. I think she has great style. She knows how to wear things. Even though I am not the biggest fan of these leggings, I think she wore them well.

The media continues to give him credence with their incessant interviews. Why so?!
Worse yet it seems that our new president is seemingly molding policy concerning the closing of GITMO and the continuance of the trials at that facility relative to Cheney's ongoing "fright show".
There's nothing about GITMO that makes us or the world any safer. We actually have far more dangerous criminals than even these terrorists in our prison system incarcerated throughout America; ie., rapists, serial killers, murderers, child molesters etc. At least the terrorists were fighting for a cause and have a fierce belief in their god…Allah!
They need to close GITMO asap and also pitch the lease papers on the land back to the Cubans and vacate this piece of real estate; ie., a vestige from the Spanish American War.
Things don't seem all that well as things unfold concerning this new presidency. Obama has a community organizer's persona and believes in discussing everything in great detail, possibly too much so and letting consensus determine his policies as a function of the National Security Council et al. input rather than coming down with a mighty, meaty fist bounced off the conference table; saying "enough is enough" and shutting these war mongers summarily down…period!
Our president is beginning to act like the MIC's "hand puppet" or worse yet Bush/Cheney redux…

Marijuana: Adam Hartle on his new A64 movie and smoking pot in front of Tom Tancredo
We first introduced you to Adam Hartle in January 2013, when we reported that ex-Congressman Tom Tancredo had promised to puff a joint on camera as part of the comedian/filmmaker's movie about Amendment 64 should the measure pass -- which it did.Adam Hartle and Tom Tancredo in a scene from "Mile High -- The COmeback of Cannabis," premiering tonight in Denver. More photos and a video below.
Tancredo later welched on his bet under pressure from his family. But in Mile High -- The COmeback of Cannabis, the now-completed documentary, which screens tonight through Thursday (with Hartle promising to give out free legal pot to adults 21 and over outside theaters), Tancredo watches as the director blazes. Learn more about that scene and the project as a whole in a photo-and-video supplemented Q&A with Hartle below.
"I lit up during an interview with [Tancredo] on day one of legal sales last January in one of the final scenes to our film," the Florida-based Hartle notes via e-mail. He adds that he kept this get-together secret until just days ago "because the Republicans were using his support for A-64 against him [during his recent run for the GOP gubernatorial nomination] and I didn't want to give them any fuel for their fear-mongering fire."
Prior to the Republican primary, which Tancredo lost to another former U.S. Representative, Bob Beauprez, Hartle answered a series of questions about the movie, starting with Tancredo's original bet, made prior to Amendment 64's passage in November 2012.Hartle also shares buds in the film with former judge turned cannabis attorney Leonard Frieling, a regular Westword interview subject.
Westword: Were you surprised by all the attention you got after Tom Tancredo made you a bet about smoking a joint with you if Amendment 64 won and then backed out on it?
Adam Hartle: Yes, very. The entire country was talking about it for a week. From my perspective it was just two dudes talking about burning one down together one day.
Have you heard from Tancredo since then?
We talk all the time. He's actually a really nice guy despite being a politician. I'm an independent and find all politicians to be corrupt [people] that will do and say anything to get elected, but that's a whole other conversation haha.... I feel bad for him right now. I was talking to him yesterday and he was telling me about all the attack ads running against him all over Colorado. He's the current leader in the Republican primary for governor, which makes him the target of smear campaigns from the other dudes (another reason I don't like politicians -- haha).... Hopefully the voters in Colorado are smart enough not to fall for it.
I know you were looking for another politician to smoke with you after Tancredo reneged. did you get any takers?
Yes. It's one of the final scenes in the film, and it was awesome (shameless plug alert). And if anybody wants to see it, there are still some tickets left to the premiere July 8th at the Mayan Theatre and you can reserve your seats right now!
You had to edit Tancredo out of your Indiegogo fundraising trailer. Did that cause you problems when it came to raising the money you needed to complete the project?Another screen capture from "Mile High -- The COmeback of Cannabis."
It wouldn't have mattered either way. Like you do with all friends, you get over disagreements pretty quickly. I'm lucky to have made friends with all the people I interviewed in Colorado for this film, and they're all going to be there at the premiere, so we can't wait to see them and get back out to Denver! As for the money, I funded the film myself, which in the end is ideal because it's 100 percent independent and only director Anthony Hashem and myself had any say on the final cut. And the film came out much, much better than either of us could have predicted.
How much money did you raise through that campaign? Was it enough to finish everything up? Or did you need to find money from other sources to complete it?
We came really, really close, man. The final budget on the film came out to $25,000. I have a wife and twin 2 year olds, so coming up with the extra side cash to produce the film wasn't easy. But I joke that this film is my third baby, and like all good parents, I'll do anything for my kids, right? My wife jokes that she's leaving me if I spend anymore on the film -- at least I hope she's joking haha!
Continue for more of our interview with Adam Hartle about his Mile High -- The COmeback of Cannabis, premiering in Denver tonight, including more photos and a video.

Why do columns superimpose in IE 5?
I have a simple page done with an external CSS style sheet.
This consists of a top section, left, center and right columns plus a footer.
In NS 7 it all lines up perfectly whilst in IE5 the right column superimposes itself onto the left. I have absolutely no idea how to sort this out.
both the left and right columns are position absolute whilst the center is free. All widths, paddings, margins are in %.
#contacts {
position: absolute;
width: 21.9%;
height: 220px;
overflow: hidden;
margin-left: 75%;
padding: 0% 1.5%;
top: 100px;
color: White;
background-color: #153976;
border-top: 1px solid #A5B5C6;
This is the code for the right column from the style sheet
thanks for your time

I have never done this before (except in the late summer. I get the minimal amount of sun so end up with 8-9 foot plants which extend way above the cages. My brother in law (with my plants) grows tomatoes that never get over 4 feet tall and spread out 5 feet. He's got almost total sun so the plant never needs to grow tall. He gets twice as many tomatoes as well. Can I keep topping off a plant (from the beginning) to make it grow wider? Would such a plant produce more (despite my minimal sun)_? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Since no one else has responded I'll reply with my usual info that topping indeterminate plants is not recommended except perhaps in the fall to speed ripening and topping determinate varieties is never recommended. There are several previous discussions and a FAQ here about this that the search using 'topping' or 'pinching' will pull up if you want to read them. It just doesn't work - trying to turn an indeterminate vine into a bush. When you cut a vine 2 new vines sprout from the node just below the cut. Not leaf branches, not bloom clusters, but new vines. Cut those new vines and 2 more vines will sprout from the nodes just below those cuts. And so on and so on. So you end up with lots of short vines but no fruit production. But to really know what the cause or problem is we need to know the name of the variety. Your BIL's 4 foot tall, 5' wide plants aren't indeterminates, maybe semi-determinates like Celebrity? But an 8-9' indeterminate tomato plant is not abnormal regardless of the amount of sun. If your plants are leggy (long stem section between leaf branches then they aren't getting enough sun. But instead of trying to force the plant to adapt to the poor growing conditions you have to focus on improving the growing conditions instead. Dave |
Dave, While marullo does not give his/her USDA zone, he/she appears to be in Pennsylvania which ranges from USDA Zone 4b to USDA Zone 7a. I can tell you that most indeterminate varieties in my zone (5A) will not get over 5 feet tall and many are shorter than that because I can see over the rows and I am only 5' 3". That is why I quit buying 8' t-posts for the end of my Florida Weave rows and now use 6" posts driven about 18" into the soil. I don't think I had a single tomato get much taller than that last year. My plants are in the open (no wind break or shade) from the time they are transplanted, and I think they are probably 5' wide because even with tucking in the loose branches, my path between rows planted 6' feet apart gets pretty narrow in late summer. marullo, Is there any way you can increase the amount of sun your plants get? It sounds like they are stretching for it. Are your plants in containers or in the ground? Betsy |
Well, I got my answer and, no, can't get more sun unless I get arrested for taking down neighbors oaks. Anyway all my plants are indeterminant.....brother in law as well but those in almost total sun stay shorter and are more productive Guess there's no way around it. I do okay....not really complaining...just thought there might be something more I could do. Thanks for response - I will not top plants till fall. |
Topping in tomatoes probably stems from other vegetables like peppers that will grow horizontal foliage as a result. Peppers do not vine, however, and the results are far different and much less desirable in tomatoes, IMO. |

Unlike so many remakes of classic fighters, Turbo HD has soul...It's definitely a must-have title for any self-respecting fighting fan. Period.
What once was old is now new again and it still maintains that same classic gameplay that helped it to achieve its legendary status.
If you have an HDTV and if you love Street Fighter and if you still have $15 to your name in this economy, you owe it to yourself to download SFII Turbo HD Remix, even if it means skipping a meal.
Solid arcade play, great one-on-one local matches, and a multiplayer mode that is almost lag free - this adds up to one of the best gaming values fighting fans could ask for.
This is absolutely the best Street Fighter seen in years, but just be ready for a beatdown and you'll be fine.
Even though we have had our share of Street Fighter remakes over the past 15 years, this revamped version remains the most interesting of all. If you haven't bought a downloadable fighting game yet, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix might be the one to get but don't expect a whole lot of changes besides improved visuals and a few balanced gameplay elements.
That doesn't mean the online play is perfect. In fact, many people have reported matchmaking issues and assorted glitches. Matchmaking shouldn't be a problem when playing with friends via invites (on either PSN or XBL), but when playing random players it's a mixed bag.

building a birdhouse
Today, I helped the preschool kids at Clear Spring School build a birdhouse as you can see in the photo at left. Then, at home, in addition to sanding small boxes in my never ending friendly competition with the Chinese, I've also been conducting an experiment called, "do sawdust and oil mix?"
I am concerned as many are about the impact of the BP disaster, and based on my observations about sawdust being an excellent hand cleaner for oily hands, I began to wonder if sawdust might be utilized to remove oil from the surface of water. Not having a laboratory, my experiment is likely flawed. You can see the results in the series of photos below. Some of you may have seen my tip in Fine Woodworking about using sawdust to scrub oily hands. I saw an internet post on hair-brained clean up ideas and illustrated with a photo showing oily hands. Seeing that photo, I remarked to myself. If my hands were that oily, I would need sawdust to clean them up. That led to today's experiment. Starting out with a clean bucket of water, I added oil, then sawdust, then observed. After the floating layer of sawdust was removed, very little oily film remained. I expected the bucket to require detergent to clean. No oily film was left when the bucket was emptied. Amazing. More can be seen in later posts, Part 2, and Part 3

I love those cool looking blue "Star Trek" safety glasses and I bet that the kids liked them too. A little less hassle when it comes to safety is always a good thing when the kids think that they look funky-fine... and those kids do. I'm gonna have to look into those!
- Shop Teacher Bob said...
The oily sawdust would make a great sweeping compound for concrete floors. Not so sure how that would go over - BP branded floor sweep - but one of the guys I used to work made his own all the time. Really cleaned up the dust.
- Doug Stowe said...
Those miniature safety glasses were a real find and relatively inexpensive.
My Dad had a sweeping compound for the floors in his hardware store that was made of sawdust with both oil and wax, so it cleaned and developed a shine.
I'm not sure BP brand has suffered much as too few seem to care about the natural environment. As long as the iPhone is working, everything is A-OK. - 9:18 PM

Unfortunately, you're right about the iPhone. Frances and I sat through a minor league ball game Monday night--dollar night. There was a porky kid, maybe 17 or so,down a row and to the left who spent the entire game playing games on what looked to me like a Blackberry. That's all he did except for two hikes down to get himself a bunch of fries and one buck hot dogs.
Why he paid even a buck to get into the game was beyond me.
When I worked for Katonah Altar Factory some 55 years ago--nah, it can't be!--the floor never had oil even when it was spilled around some machines. A push broom and burlap bags was the only dust removal system back then. - 10:23 AM

I'm trying to decide between a birch or cherry laminate floor that we are laying in our living room. We currently have a very light color tile in the kitchen with maple honey spice cabinets and uba tuba granite tops. The kitchen opens up to the living room. The color of the cherry would match the cabinets in the kitchen. The living room has 2 windows a skylight and is very large. Thoughts? Our furniture is black/brown. Is cherry a dated look? Seems like birch would be more timeless? Does anyone have thoughts? One other thing, the cherry is a single plank design and the birch comes in 3 plank style. |

In the second photo I like the top one better but either should look fine. I assume the bottom one is cherry. That one looked like it had more of a red tone to it. Maybe you could find a maple that matches the cabinets in the kitchen? |
Personally birch nor cherry are considered "dated". The one thing that i feel gets dated is the 3 plank style. Its not my personal favorite. Although they look nice i get the impression that its dated whenever i see them. But its just my opinion. Take it for what its worth. Also cherry can give a sense of warmth but can kind of make the room feel smaller while the birch can open a room feel large. |
Here's another photo of the laminate with the kitchen. A cherry (2 plank) which matches the cabinets in the kitchen, the birch (3 plank) and a cherry single plank. I like the color of birch but don't really care for the 3 piece plank, the cherry seems to match the cabinets but I'm worried about finding a wall color that will look decent with the flooring and i don't want to make the room to dark. Thanks for the feedback so far. |

Clipfert - Tomorrow I am closing on a 1900 sq ft ranch on a slab, foreclosure, post flood, no flooring. I want to float my floors and have been back and forth between engineered hardwood and laminate and I have two medium size terrorist dogs who damage my current hardwood floors so I am going for laminate. My main requirement, as someone mentioned above, is single plank flooring. No matter what, you will get some expanson and contractions just like hardwood. You will see the seam every 3 plank on three plank and it will really look like laminate. The single plank fakes hardwood a little better. Question for you. What is your kitchen floor? I want to do something different in the kitchen and it is hard to tell but looks like you might have "floated" something in there. |
It is 16" porcelain tile. I did not want laminate in the kitchen or laundry room (my husband tried but i wouldn't budge). I am happy with it. It has been laid in a brick pattern. We have dropped some heavy stuff on it and so far it has held up wonderfully, my only complaint is the grout. When we laid it the contractor recommended mixing a sealant in with the grout (to prevent grout staining). It didn't work. We actually bought enough tile to tile our dining room too and will be laying that down in addition to the laminate when we begin remodeling our living area. |
Thanks, ceramic or porcelain is too cold for me to go over a slab in Michigan. Looking to float something tile like in a laminate type thickness in my kitchen. |

Vibe's Top Trap/Moombahton Artists
DJ Imanos
Just trust the judgment of Tiësto, Laidback Luke, Diplo and Paul Oakenfold when it comes to music recommendations? Such high acclaim from the aforementioned artists for DJ Imanos peaked our interest. Imanos' release of the trap mix, "Love Trap Vol. 1" confirms that the buzz about Imanos' work is indeed warranted. He is currently in the studio with Mad Decent working on his debut EP. It is rumored to feature a blend of electro house, trap and progressive house.

When one considers the corporate bureaucracy designed to ensure good corporate citizenship, the audit committee stands out. No committee of the board has the broad ranging purview of the audit committee, and those powers and duties have expanded over the years. With great power, however, comes great responsibility.
Since March 2010, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has brought four suits against the members of audit committees of public corporations, alleging that they were not independent and thus allowed others to engage in securities and other frauds. In class actions, derivative suits, and other private civil litigation, naming the members of the audit committee has become routine, even where the audit committee has taken action to investigate and remediate wrongful conduct. As greater reliance is placed on audit committees, not only with regard to the financial statements but also with regard to internal controls, legal compliance policies and programs, risk management, and investigation of alleged wrongdoing, the likely liability horizon for audit committee members has expanded.
